In a letter of March 27, 1545, Martin Luther wrote to Elector John Frederick: Doctor Staupitz is first of all my father in this doctrine and he has given birth to me in Christ. The conviction that Johann von Staupitz had been Luthers spiritual father and that everything had started with him can often be found in Luthers works, and less than a year before his death he remembers him with much gratitude. However, Luthers own view of Staupitzs significance for him was seldom fully appreciated. Moreover, in contrast to Luther, Staupitz was generally underexposed. The Roman Catholic Church put his writings on the index of forbidden books. The Protestants underlined the theological originality of Luther and in that view Staupitz could only be seen as a forerunner of the Reformation, who at his best has had some sort of pastoral influence on Luther.
